WASHINGTON– After more than a decade of fighting, 80-year-old Wanda Witter finally proved she was owed nearly $100,000 from Social Security.

She moved to Washington D.C. in the 1990s, but when she couldn’t find a job, she ended up living on the streets. Years later, she started accepting Social Security benefits, but the check amounts were never the same, The Washington Post reported this week.

Witter made countless calls, yet couldn’t get any answers. In the meantime, she refused to cash the checks.
